Yuji Naka shares his thoughts about the new Sonic film trailer

Sonic co-creator Yuji Naka shared his opinion about the new look of Sega’s mascot in the latest Sonic the Hedgehog movie trailer.

Months after the Sonic look many fans ended up not enjoying, Sonic’s new design made many people extremely happy, including a member of the Sonic team that worked on the creation of Sega’s mascot.

According to a translation by Dual Shockers, Yuji Naki said the following: “Sonic’s new design for the movie is out. However, it seems they’re making it as if the old design didn’t exist, as the movie official account’s old tweets were deleted. I wanted to see a special DVD version of the movie which used the old design. Too bad.”

映画ソニックの新しいデザイン出て来ましたね。しかし、前のツイート消してるようですが、前のは無かったことにするんでしょうか？前のデザインのままのもDVDとかで見たかったのに残念ですね。 https://t.co/XhmfNmr4EI

In his second tweet of the day, he said: “This is the new trailer with Sonic’s new design. The design is much more Sonic-like now that he’s wearing gloves. However, his eyes still aren’t joined together, as expected. I can’t help but feel weird about that one point. But I’m looking forward to the movie’s release.”

映画ソニックの新しいデザインのトレーラーですね。手袋をつけてくれたのでだいぶソニックっぽくなりましたが、やっぱり目は繋がらないんですね。どうも違和感を感じてしまいますね。でも、映画の公開が楽しみですね。 https://t.co/C8EwuiJg2m

In his third tweet, Yuji shared his opinion about a Japanese subbed version of the English-language trailer. Something was new to him. “A Japanese subbed version of the Sonic movie trailer is also available. But what’s up with the “In order to save my planet, I had to come to yours?” line? This is news to me. And I just noticed we’ll get the movie later in Japan, on March 27.”

映画ソニックの日本語版トレーラーもありますね。しかし「俺たちの星を守るため地球にやってきた」って何でしょうね？初耳です。しかも、日本の公開日3月27日と遅いんですね。 https://t.co/NxXUZtqiH1

In this last tweet about Sonic, he mentions: “The Japanese official twitter of the Sonic movie also mentioned how “the movie will reveal the mystery behind Sonic’s arrival on our earth”, so we’ll probably learn what that line means in the movie.”

「映画本編ではソニック地球到着の謎が明らかに」って何が分かるのでしょうね？ https://t.co/1MyvTsvjQM
